Exactly — a brilliant analysis. Greenfield is a journalist who consistently thinks and delivers.

Trump however thrives on chaos. Instead of trying to control chaos, he generates it, causing uncertainty and then offering a sense of security in exchange for a good deal.

plus he is not afraid of a fight or competition, and thrives on them.

Trump loves to whack the Gordian Knots he comes across (or has long been mentally stymied by) with a sharp edge to see if he can cut through.

Brilliant analysis by Greenfield! Best insights I’ve ever read anywhere, anytime about President Trump’s way of thinking and operating. It’s all about TEMPO and taking the INITIATIVE, keeping your opponents off guard and unbalanced.

[Louis Foxwell]

Trump is a brassy New York real estate mogul with a heart for people and a deep belief in the traditions that made America the greatest nation in human history. The prissy PC zealots who oppose him raise his approval by their contempt for him. Acosta’s daily rants and boorish behavior create opportunity for Trump to show his true class.
Trump never loses his cool. He is always controlling the agenda and the conversation.

Just excellent!

How refreshing to read a true journalist in these times.

Thank you.

Fantastic article and a great summary of why we all admire President Trump.

[JayGalt]

Great article, Lou. Made my day.

Trump hates reacting, he loves taking the initiative and forcing others, rivals, competitors, media syndicates or foreign dictators, to react to him. That’s the essence of strategy and he nails it the way few have.

This is part of the Fundamental theory of poker. Make your opponent react and have to be the one making a decision.

Don't be afraid to be the "Bad Guy".

I LOVE that. Sometimes one has to be perceived as "the Bad Guy" in order to achieve what is good.

Trump reminds me more of Teddy Roosevelt. I like it. He portrays a more mature but still brash, exhuberent, confident United States that has earned its place and needs, no deserves, to take advantage of that and not merely maintain that let alone apologise for it.

He cant break what is already broken so the only way is up and better. Bravo Mr. Trump.

[Tallguy]

I like the article and I thing the points are well taken... but the strategic game is like poker. Trump has bluffed his opponents out of a series of pots. If hiso negotiating partner ever feels pot-committed then Trump could lose a big hand. Just saying that you have to know when to push, that's all. I guess that would be Rule# 6?

Outstanding, T Y 4 posting.
